Be strong, trust that our blindness will turn into light...
Today’s first reading and the gospel are deeply
connected. We are told to be strong that our heart will guide us to be open to
the Lord’s call to listen and respond. Both readings direct us to be strong so
we will be liberated of our blindness, we can be saved and be able to sing
God’s power to proclaim how blessed we are to hear in our heart the wonderful
news of God’s Providence!
Mark’s message tells the story of the person who was
deaf. That Jesus took the person aside
and put His finger into her ears and spitting touched her tongue. In baptism we received the very same ritual
of our ears and tongue being touch so as to hear and shout with joy the Lord’s
wonderful blessings.
Let us ask the Lord’s blessing so as to hear the words of
Providence and witness the Word alive moving us to sing about the Good News. Be
strong, trust that our blindness will turn into light. Let Jesus bring us apart so as to hear and
witness what has been done to us.
